My New Year message &... HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!!!! ^_^

As the year 2012 comes to an end, I look back & ponder...

WOW!!! FANTASTIC BABY!!!

It had been a FANTASTIC year for me!!!

Definitely a very eventful & blessed one indeed & I'm very happy with how 2012 had been for me..

And as usual, everyone wishes the coming year 2013 will be an even better year & so do I.. :)

2013 will be an even busier year ahead for me, with more activities & plans lined up for me in my schedule!

Praying for strength for the New Year ahead! Fighting!

I have fulfilled many things I wanna do in the year 2012.. Many of my personal wishes came true.. ^_^

But all those didn't come easy..

I was able to make them come to pass by my desire, determination, discipline, etc.

And also because many times I seized the opportunities when I sensed chances as such only comes once in awhile, thus I was not gonna let them slip away..

And in returned, I've gained a lot.. ^_^

I've gained lots in the year 2012, in fact, more than ever in my life..

In every area of my life, I've been blessed with much more than ever before in my entire life..

In wealth, health, career, friends, fans, etc. I've been blessed much more than ever before..

And because of that, my loved ones around me were also blessed.. ^_^

There's SOOO much I'm thankful for that words ain't enough to express it here..

All I wanna say is "thank you so much!" to all of you out there who have entered into my life & made me part of yours as much as you have become part of mine in the year 2012..

I love each and everyone of you lots & here's wishing everyone of you from the bottom of my heart:

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!!

May the coming year be an even better year for everyone of you!!!

Lots of love, hugs & kisses from me to you!

Your one & only,

G.T.

The eve of New Year Eve & New Year Eve...

This post is not gonna be a long one cos' I'm busy enjoying my New Year Eve & counting down to the New Year 2013 while posting these pics here..

So without further ado, here are the pics I took last night & this evening..

The eve of New Year Eve...

My parents' threw a dinner party at their new home last night so I headed there to attend the party & there were so many friends & relatives who turned up.. I was so bored.. I actually went to hide in one of the rooms to eat.. LOL!!!

Was so bored... -_- So I resorted to camwhoring in my parents' room... :p

New Year Eve...

Last dance rehearsal & performance of the year 2012!!! ^_^

Me & maknae! LOL!

Me & my manager..

He's the best in the world to me!

He accompanies me for almost all my dance practices & when I teased him that he does so is it because he's afraid I'll skip my dance pracs., he said no but because he's there to give me his support..

And after each practice, he'll thank me for taking my time..

He thanks me for everything!

I should be the one thanking him for being such an awesome manager & friend to me all these time! ^_^

Cheers to the coming New Year 2013! ^_^

Thank you for this gift, maknae! 

As promised, here's a pic of it after I've fixed it..

Presenting... 北海道犬 Hokkaido Dog

Warning!!! Photos galore!!! LOL!!!

Dropped by Goods Of Desire (G.O.D) this week.. ^_^ 

Took the following photos of these "old school" stuffs (via my iPhone 4S) while I was there.. ^_-

Really brought back lots of wonderful memories of my childhood upon seeing them... ^_^

Mum... There's a hole in my pocket...

蒸し蒸し!

"When I was young, I listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite song..."

Guy: oh, let me count the ways you love me... 

Girl: wait.. That depends on how hot you are first...

Type me a novel, baby.. Show me what you've got..

To be or not to be... That is the question...

"Shylock, the world thinks, and I think so too, 

That thou but lead'st this fashion of thy malice

To the last hour of act; and then 'tis thought

Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange

Than is thy strange apparent cruelty;

And where thou now exact'st the penalty,

Which is a pound of this poor merchant's flesh,

Thou wilt not only loose the forfeiture,

But, touch'd with human gentleness and love,

Forgive a moiety of the principal;

Glancing an eye of pity on his losses,

That have of late so huddled on his back,

Enow to press a royal merchant down

And pluck commiseration of his state

From brassy bosoms and rough hearts of flint,

From stubborn Turks and Tartars, never train'd

To offices of tender courtesy.

We all expect a gentle answer, Jew."

- Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

Treated my maknae to Japanese food this week..

Told him to eat more but he ate so little..

As his リーダー, I told him I'll treat him eat whatever he wants but he's so shy to order... -_-"

てんざるすみうど

*リング* *リング*... *蒸し蒸し*..... メリークリスマス、ミスターローレンス... (Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence...)

Kekeke... ^_-

Christmas isn't Christmas till I make time to spend it with my maternal family..

I drove them to town to have Chinese dinner on the night of the first day of Christmas Day! ^_^

Here were 3 dishes out of the 5 we ate:


Cold Dish! 

Sharks' Fin... Poor sharks!!! :_(

Hokkien Noodles...

The night could never be complete without Japan's No. 1 beer!

On the second day of Christmas, I had an appointment at Serangoon Road, thus I made a trip there & while I was there, I spotted some of these "old school" letterboxes still in used at the shophouses along Serangoon Road..

Couldn't resist from taking a photo of them... LOL!


Hey Mr Postman! Do you have a letter for me?...

Oh my! Didn't get to drop by my office the entire week till Thursday afternoon & my work desk was stacked with X'mas pressies fm colleagues!

On Friday afternoon, I stopped by Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee Bar to chill...

Took the following pics via my iPhone 4S while I was there..

Love that place.. ^_^

Missing you when you're not around... I isolate myself...

I waited & waited... And waited some more...

Baby, leave a light on for me...
